We have had many offers of help, supplies and prayers, which are greatly appreciated. For those that need help or would like to help, we have gathered a list of resources, links and phone numbers.

If You Need Hay or Supplies
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension has established livestock supply points in the affected area and are currently receiving and distributing donated resources to producers impacted by the Hurricane Harvey. If you are in the affected area and have a need, call 979-845-7800.
Contact County Judge or Emergency Management Coordinator to Request State Assistance for Stranded Livestock
If you are in the areas affected by Hurricane Harvey and need hay or livestock feed delivered to stranded livestock, contact your county emergency management coordinator or your county judge to obtain a State of Texas Assistance Request (STAR) form. This will start the process to access assistance. These requests must start at the local level. In exceptional circumstances where feed needs to be delivered via non-conventional means (such as by helicopter or boat) to stranded livestock, the STAR procedure is necessary.
To find your county emergency management coordinator or county judge, use your favorite search engine to search on the name of your county and emergency management coordinator or county Judge (example, Brazoria County Emergency Management Coordinator or Brazoria County Judge).
Avoiding Scams and Fraud
Texans affected by Hurricane Harvey should be aware of unscrupulous people who may try to take advantage of them through fraud, scams and identity theft and other criminal activity. Price gouging, identity theft, unscrupulous contractors and charity scams abound after disasters, and AgriLife Extension has some tips to avoid getting taken. Click here for more information.
